Abstract

The analysis of cements and ores has been studied using the Applied Research Laboratories, Inc. Production Control X-ray Quantometer (PXQ), Elements included in the program were magnesium, aluminum, silicon, phosphorus, calcium and iron. The PXQ, utilizing the polychromator concept, allows the simultaneous determination of the listed elements.

Focusing ADP, EDT, quartz and LiF crystals were used with flow Geigers or Multitrons. Helium paths were used as required. The choice of crystals, detectors, and slit widths was determined to give optimum results for each element.

The effects of briquetting and ratioing to scattered background on accuracy were studied. Various instrumental factors such as helium flow rate, detector gas flow rate, short and long term stability were also investigated.
